Freezing Cooked Brisket

[hoffa2651]

Anyone have any tips on freezing and then re-heating cooked brisket? I know that its ideal to slice and eat fresh but anticipating a lot of leftovers and want to know if anyone has any tricks. Thanks!

Do you have a vac sealer? I preslice,put in bag- offset stacked,pour juice in each bag,freeze in my OCD leveled freezer on cookie sheet,then vac seal.
Simmer in bag to reheat.

As motocrash suggests, vac sealing is absolutely the best way. Personally, I put in vac bags after the meat has cooled with a bit of the juice, vacuum seal it, then freeze it. Either way, the key part is adding a bit of the juice to the meat in the bag. Simmer in the bag to reheat wold be the best reheating method.

If the meat will be eaten fairly quickly after freezing (within a month or two), you could use zipper freezer bags. I would place the meat and juice in the bag, then submerge in water up to it's neck to get out as much air as possible and zip it up.
